The Change in Solar Taxation in 2024 Highlights the Dynamics and Challenges Faced by the Solar Energy Sector in Brazil.

The arrival of 2024 marks a turning point for the solar photovoltaic sector in Brazil, bringing to light an important review of the solar taxation policy. Technically known as TUSD (Distribution System Usage Fee) of wire B, this change stems from the implementation of Law 14300 of 2022, which came into force on the first day of January this year.

Understand the Change in Solar Taxation

The new legislation, Law 14300, introduced in 2022, is intended to establish a legal framework for the distributed generation sector, including solar photovoltaic energy. Aiming to bring legal certainty to the sector, the law also promoted a review of the cost structure, directly impacting the energy tariff injected into the grid by photovoltaic installations.

Composition of the Energy Tariff and the Inclusion of Wire B

The energy tariff consists of two main components: the TE, related to the generated energy, and the TUSD, related to the transport of that energy to the consumer. Within the TUSD, wire B stands out, which corresponds to the cost charged for the transport of energy in the distribution network, representing on average 28% of the total tariff.

According to Law 14300, distributed generation projects submitted after January 7, 2023, are classified as GD2 and GD3, each subject to different impacts under the new taxation rules. Specifically, GD2 projects now face an increasing charge for the use of wire B, which started at 15% in 2023 and increased to 30% in 2024. This scaling will continue until it reaches 90% in 2028.

Practical Example of the Impact

To illustrate, considering a hypothetical value of R$1 per kWh and a photovoltaic system that injects 2000 kWh of surplus into the grid, in 2023, it would be possible to deduct 95% of this amount, resulting in a payment of approximately 4 cents per kWh due to the wire B charge. In 2024, with the increase to 30%, only 91 cents per kWh injected can be deducted, raising the cost to around 8 cents per kWh.

While projects classified as GD3, aimed at mini distributed generation, were fully impacted in 2023, GD2 projects remain in a transition period. This scenario emphasizes the need for adaptability and strategic planning for those involved in the solar photovoltaic energy sector, highlighting the importance of innovation and sustainable development in the country’s energy matrix.

Practical Example of the Impact

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

The German economist Wolf-Peter Schill has no doubts: “Electric cars are already far superior to cars with internal combustion engines.”

Alert in the fuel market: Analysts and a former director of ANP warn that oil prices may worsen in the coming months due to global instability.

Scientists want to turn internet cables into sensors to listen for tremors on the Moon, and the plan could permanently change how the Artemis missions will explore, map risks, and protect astronauts on the lunar surface.

A study reveals the expansion of renewable energy procurement in Brazil and shows how companies are taking advantage of opportunities to reduce expenses, ensure energy efficiency, and strengthen strategic environmental commitments.

The German economist Wolf-Peter Schill has no doubts: “Electric cars are already far superior to cars with internal combustion engines.”

Researchers discover a possible hydrogen deposit of up to 46 million tons beneath an ancient coal basin, and the volume could exceed half of the entire global production.

While the world looks at oil, the war with Iran is already disrupting helium supply from Qatar, affecting car and iPhone chips, threatening AI expansion, and putting pressure on aluminum packaging at the highest value in four years.

Global warming will expose a treasure hidden under the ice of Antarctica and may spark an international dispute over gold and valuable minerals.

The Argentine government celebrates the lowest poverty rate in 7 years, but experts warn that the methodology has changed, real wages have fallen, unemployment has risen, and the number of people on the streets of Buenos Aires has increased by 57% since Milei took office.
